Launch Event
Industry - the Basis for Prosperity
What can politics, science and industry do to avoid a de-industrialization in Switzerland and in Europe? Monday, 13 November 2017, Eventforum Bern
Topic
Industry is an important factor for the prosperity in Europe and beyond, which creates an enormous value, about 28% of the Swiss GDP. However, the number of employees working in industry in Europe has dropped by 16% since 2000.
In addition, manufacturing is currently undergoing a revolution, which in a few words can be summarized as a new level of linkage between computers, data, and things, which, in turn, is driving radical innovations in how things are made. These developments are critical to Swiss industry. The Strategic Focus Area “Advanced Manufacturing” of the ETH Domain aims at enabling Switzerland’s scientific and technical community to contribute at the most advanced level to these developments. However, the topic of this event goes far beyond this research program. We will discuss what politics, science and industry can do to avoid a de-industrialization in Switzerland and in Europe. |
